Lovely stuff. Makes perfect sense too. Sony can’t just throw endless money at stuff and a top-drawer game (hopefully) needs to still be able to justify its development expense. Cars, tracks, etc., are the obvious things to bundle into DLC purchases for people enjoying the PS+ version, as such.

If I’m remembering right it was said back in February that the game will be supported with loads of DLC. If so it’s a good strategy by Sony to give away a top game at the PS4’s launch and it still being able to generate income for the developer. Could help shift a few more consoles.

Eh? What the hell? This game will have cost millions to make and they need to make it profitable.

Unless I’m completely bonkers, can you not still buy the full game irrespective of the above. The Drive Club PS+ is something to lure you in. It’s an effective business model and can be a great way for people to try games out before committing (too much) money.

League of Legends – the most played online game in the world right now – is the perfect example. Sure, it’s not for everyone but everyone can have a go for absolutely zero financial investment. There’s plenty of fun to be had but plenty of money to throw down if you want to invest in the characters and other paraphernalia.

I understand your point but I would rather have a couple of hours trial rather than what seems to be F2P, I’m very against it. I’d rather pay £40/60 and know that’s it. It is more likely I wouldn’t buy the game or DLC in the cut edition. That’s my beliefs.
I’ll still get my Ps4 day 1 any way. :)

Ooh, so it’s like Drive Club Prologue for free on plus and full fat Drive Club for retail? Very clever Sony, you’re certainly nailing the friendly sounding profiteering, I actually don’t object at all it’s quite smart stuff :)
